Durrill Abstract Rehearsal for Redemption: The Politics of Post-Emancipation Violence in Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region By James Michael Rhyne In the late antebellum period, changing economic and social realities fostered conflicts among Kentuckians as tension built over a number of issues, especially the future of slavery. Local clashes matured into widespread, violent confrontations during the Civil War, as an ugly guerrilla war raged through much of the state. Additionally, African Americans engaged in a wartime contest over the meaning of freedom. Nowhere were these interconnected conflicts more clearly evidenced than in the Bluegrass Region. Though Kentucky had never seceded, the Freedmen’s Bureau established a branch in the Commonwealth after the war.

  • Riots & Looting in Philadelphia
    Joseph C. Gale Commissioner Board of Commissioners Montgomery County, Pennsylvania June 1, 2020 PRESS STATEMENT: RIOTS & LOOTING IN PHILADELPHIA What we saw this weekend in Philadelphia was not a protest - it was a riot. In fact, nearly every major city across the nation was ravaged by looting, violence and arson. The perpetrators of this urban domestic terror are radical left-wing hate groups like Black Lives Matter. This organization, in particular, screams racism not to expose bigotry and injustice, but to justify the lawless destruction of our cities and surrounding communities. Their objective is to unleash chaos and mayhem without consequence by falsely claiming they, in fact, are the victims. For years, our police men and women have been demonized and degraded by the radical left. As a result of this defamation and character assassination, as well as a complicit media constantly pushing the bogus narrative of systemic police brutality and white racism, law enforcement is afraid to do their job of protecting innocent people and their property. In addition, too many Democrat mayors are sympathizers of these far-left radical enemy combatants. As a result, their misguided empathy has enabled a level of unfettered criminality never witnessed before in American history. Sadly, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney falls in this category of sympathetic Democrat mayors. And his handpicked Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw seems to share her boss's sentiment. Frankly, the name Outlaw fits her to a tee. This past weekend, I watched television coverage of police officers being ordered to stand down as the statue of Frank Rizzo was spray painted, lit on fire and attempted to be pulled down.

  • The Devil Is Watching You: Lynching and Southern Memory, 1940–1970
    THE DEVIL IS WATCHING YOU: LYNCHING AND SOUTHERN MEMORY, 1940–1970 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by MARI N. CRABTREE August 2014 ©2014 Mari N. Crabtree ii THE DEVIL IS WATCHING YOU: LYNCHING AND SOUTHERN MEMORY, 1940–1970 Mari N. Crabtree, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2014 This dissertation is a cultural history of lynching in African American and white southern memory. Mob violence had become relatively infrequent by 1940, yet it cast a long shadow over the region in the three decades that followed. By mining cultural sources, from folklore and photographs to my own interviews with the relatives of lynching victims, I uncover the ways in which memories of lynching seeped into contemporary conflicts over race and place during the long Civil Rights Era. The protest and counter-protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s garner most of the attention in discussions of racial violence during this period, but I argue that scholars must also be attentive to the memories of lynching that register on what Ralph Ellison called “the lower frequencies” to fully understand these legacies. For instance, African Americans often shielded their children from the most painful memories of local lynchings but would pass on stories about the vengeful ghosts of lynching victims to express their disgust with these unpunished crimes. By interpreting these memories through the lenses of silence, haunting, violence, and protest, I capture a broad range of legacies, from the subtle to the overt, that illustrate how and why lynching maintained its stranglehold on southern culture.

  • Balletx Premieres Short Dance Films About Life in Lockdown by Kristi Yeung
    Screenshot courtesy of BalletX BalletX Premieres Short Dance Films About Life in Lockdown by Kristi Yeung How many performances have we lost to coronavirus? I’m sure the list of shows canceled, postponed, and never started would fill many depressing pages. So let’s instead think about something positive: how many works have we gained? The short dance film has become more popular than ever as a result of social distancing. Adding to the growing collection, BalletX recently premiered four videos as part of the Guggenheim’s Virtual Works & Process series. In Caili Quan’s “100 days,” Chloe Perkes embodies the silliness that emerges when your home becomes your whole world. She executes balletic kicks and turns that devolve into hip-swaying grooves as her real-life husband attempts to read in the background. Performing in Hope Boykin’s “…it’s okay too. Feel,” Savannah Green and Ashley Simpson shift between stillness and energetic sequences in rooms made more claustrophobic by split screens and shrinking frames. Penny Saunders’ “Brown Eyes,” featuring Andrea Yorita and Zachary Kapeluck, explores an unstable relationship pushed to its breaking point by confinement. It uses reflections, shadows, and video overlays to intensify the visual tension created by the choreography. The final work to premiere was Rena Butler’s “The Under Way” (working title). Before the pandemic began and George Floyd was tragically killed, BalletX Artistic and Executive Director Christine Cox approached Butler to create a piece about the Underground Railroad. A portion of this work was supposed to premiere live at the Guggenheim museum this spring.

  • A History of Civil Rights and Social Change in Pinellas County
    VIDEO TRANSCRIPT A History of Civil Rights and Social Change in Pinellas County WATCH THE FULL DOCUMENTARY :05 As the saying goes, every thousand-mile journey begins with the first step. — Martin Luther King Jr. :16 Today's social change advocates can learn a great deal from stories about people who have previously stood together to challenge the status quo and fight for equity. People are capable of profound transformation when working together in social movements. Locally, the black community was part of a national civil rights movement that organized and mobilized to end racial discrimination and gain equal rights. Their stories are lessons in heroism and solidarity. They also reveal the hard, strategic work required to create change. The struggle to end racism in our community is far from over, other types of discrimination such as gender, sexual expression, disability, age, and income also unfairly and unnecessarily take their toll on public health. As we work toward a community where everyone can thrive, there are many new chapters of social change waiting to be written. The Ground We Stand On 1:32 The roots on inequity in Pinellas County started as early as 1528 with Panfilo de Narvaez landed on the shores of Boca Ciega Bay. Spain was exploring the new world looking for gold> Narvaez and his men claimed the lands and the people they encountered for their king and church. With them was Estavanico, Little Stephen, an enslaved man from Morocco, believed to be the first black person on the continent. Narvaez explored Florida along the Gulf Coast in Texas and eventually made his way to northern Mexico to meet up with the rest of his expedition.
